To celebrate the launch of a new fashion display, a Capitol Hill art gallery is offering 15% off “all new and vintage clothing items and accessories” this weekend as part of the Saturday/Sunday Pike n’ Pine neighborhood holiday sale . 15% off sales aren’t necessarily the first way you might think of to promote a new show but it’s true: Capitol Hill development edged out a generation of artists and arts groups as the economy of Pike Pine and nearby streets has shifted to focus on retail, food and drink. If you look closely, however, a new generation is infiltrating this space with a sneaky new mix of art and commerce.

It freaks some of the old school and new school art types out, to be sure, but they gallery space is becoming a shopping space on Capitol Hill. And shopping spaces are becoming gallery spaces. And food and drink spaces are becoming both. Pun(c)tuation gallery’s move — and plenty of others — are a sign of things to come (or for you in-the-knows, things that came). Here’s more on pun(c)tuation’s new pop-up shop up debuting — and more on a few of Capitol Hill’s new shopping/food/drink/art/etc. spaces hosting special events this weekend.

• Tarboo pop-up at pun(c)tuation — 705A E Pike St

Pun(c)tuation, a destination for art lovers and creative makers of all kinds, has remodeled it’s backroom for the launch of its first official in-house clothing line this month, designed in collaboration with Tarboo, Inc. Available now in-store and online at www.tarbooinc.com, the collection of classic men’s shirts are “Built by Hand to Last” and emphasize quality construction and a flattering fit at an affordable price.

The Pun(c)tuation by Tarboo collection currently offers several variations made from locally-sourced wool and cotton fabrics, including the Hunting Shirt in contrasting or solid options, and the Staple Shirt, available in several unique plaid color combinations. The shirts (priced from $88 – $108) are cut to sit comfortably on the shoulders, with a slim fit and body that doesn’t restrict chest movement. Sleeves have a gentle, tailored feel, with a single button and notched cuff.

All clothing is hand-sewn in Seattle, using time-honored standards and industrial grade machines. The use of limited edition, seconds and deadstock fabrics, means each collection is unique, available in limited quantities, and for a limited period of time. Future plans include a wider range of men’s shirts and the addition of women’s wear.

This collection is the result of an organic collaboration between the creative director of pun(c)tuation, Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes, and Tarboo, Inc. founder Matt Noren, a local tailor and artisan who learned to sew in New York’s historic Garment District. Noren was drawn to the ethos of sustainable consumption that pun(c)tuation believes in and said, “I think the healthiest and most successful businesses create sustainable ecosystems all the way from sourcing to product delivery. This line combines two of my passions: high-quality shirts made ethically by hand and Tarboo Bay, a unique self-sustaining ecosystem on the Olympic Peninsula that embodies the love and respect I have for the natural environment.”
